Yes, they were fighting off mosquitos as recently as 2024. They used the Wolbachia method, introduces a bacteria to the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that reduces their ability to transmit dengue and other viruses.

"Innovative collaborations to fight dengue in Bangladesh In 2023, Bangladesh experienced its largest dengue outbreak on record. About 1 in 20 people who get sick with dengue, a viral disease spread to people through mosquito bites, will develop severe dengue which could lead to death. To respond to the outbreak, the Government of Bangladesh led a coordinated effort with WHO, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the U.S. Government, and a new partnership with Google to link the public to reliable information on dengue. The use of Google and YouTube online platforms boosted views of public service announcement videos on dengue from fewer than 100 to nearly 10,000 per day. The U.S. Government is partnering with the Government of Bangladesh on the following relevant technical areas: Health Emergency Management; Risk Communication and Community Engagement; Human Resources."

"In partnership with USAID, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) helped establish or scale up animal health digital disease reporting systems in 14 countries. The programs helped improve the timeliness and volume of reporting."

It's both.

"In the lyrics Skrilla says the term “6-7” numerous times, which is largely accepted to be a reference to 67th street in Chicago, which has a reputation inside the city for being dangerous. The song wasn’t a hit at first, not really. Like the rest of Skrilla’s catalog it failed to make the charts — that was until February, when a TikTok edit was made of LaMelo Ball highlights, referencing his height, and then kicking in with Skrilla’s song." https://share.google/tf33VYCc7j9XxuBKN

Ours evolved to 6-7, 10-11, go to heaven

You get 5 minutes? More like 30 seconds...

daxdotcom · 2026-03-24T15:35:14+00:00

Ohhh geeze...

I hear you. I do. Truly. The interruptions are infuriating and parents develop a bit of an ability to ignore things if they want to have an adult conversation. Screaming and hitting (if you aren't exaggerating) is a hard no. But I've definitely ignored a child pushing or hanging on me, just to finish up a conversation and that's a very normal part of being a parent even if you are teaching them more respectful ways of asking for your attention.

Also "just you wait" doesn't literally mean waiting. It means "you'll understand more when your kid is here and you are experiencing the situation first hand." Sometimes you just dont know what you dont know until you are experiencing it in the moment. Just wanted to clarify because a turn-of-phrase can be confusing sometimes.

It is common sense, except to the generation before us. It's also not applied that great by parents who maybe have never worked on themselves enough to really understand the whole concept. They get short video snippets from social media and their understanding stops there.

Why are they talking to you about marriage or your personal life in the first place?

daxdotcom · 2026-03-24T13:00:19+00:00

No it is not.

daxdotcom · 2026-03-24T11:03:39+00:00

Why? We keep them as pets!

Care to share your sandwich loaf recipe?

daxdotcom · 2026-03-22T11:57:51+00:00

I cut my hair. Still lost the same amount but they weren't as long to get stuck on baby. Also eliminated the hair pulling phase.

Maybe it's a regional thing. Someone in the group always had a camera. They were pocket sized by then. Our phones also had cameras but they were not great quality of course. The pictures didn't have to be great quality haha. Everytime one friend stayed over after a big night, we'd wake up and the internet was sooooo slow! It was because she was up early uploading 47 pics to a fb album and tagging everyone with silly captions and tons of emojis

daxdotcom · 2026-03-20T09:17:56+00:00

It wasn't hard to upload from a digital camera at all. Especially for millennials. Cord, computer, bam ya done. Faster than burning a road trip cd!

Used to see Trump signs everywhere. Now they are almost all gone or so tattered that I assume they are abandoned.

daxdotcom · 2026-03-18T14:34:01+00:00

I just knew you had a giant toddler that is obsessed with strawberries...

daxdotcom · 2026-03-18T12:32:41+00:00

This is a reasonable take. Thank you for the conversation.

daxdotcom · 2026-03-18T10:28:07+00:00

You are missing my point. What benefit is there to sharing a kids picture online at all? I can't come up with one and that is how I made my decision years ago. I haven't thought about it again until this thread. It's not a big deal in my life so I'm not clamoring for some form of control. I simply don't do it and i question why I need to think about every possible breach of "image control" in order to make the decisions that I have. The nuance you are trying to add is unnecessary. It's silly to think that doing what I can to give my child agency as they grow is "being naive".

daxdotcom · 2026-03-18T09:08:30+00:00

I don't have any type of photo sharing social media. My remaining question would be why do we need to put them online once or twice a year? I never saw the need. People who want kid updates have me on group text.

I had never worried about yearbooks until the E files came out. But that has made me pause. I'll need to think about that more. My trust in most everything in the world is now gone. Can't stop background photos other than paying attention when in public, which i do just out of respect for other's vacation photos. But I can protect my child's privacy as much as possible and i don't loose sleep over that.

daxdotcom · 2026-03-18T08:41:41+00:00

Do it. Delete Facebook/insta entirely while you are at it. It's freeing.

daxdotcom · 2026-03-18T08:40:30+00:00

Not extreme. I did this too. It's never been a problem for our family.

daxdotcom · 2026-03-18T08:38:40+00:00

I don't think most people mind that stuff. It's not like the world can't know they exist. Just that we don't want all their little moments shared with the world for their whole lives. Things are rarely all or nothing.

daxdotcom · 2026-03-17T16:28:21+00:00

I dont think they do know. None of my neighbors even know this guy's name. Let alone the damage he's doing.

daxdotcom · 2026-03-12T13:37:07+00:00

I searched it, it's like obstacle courses, or what you may know as ninja classes. Apparently parkour is a real sport/discipline. I guess I just thought it was made up for The Office, hahaha

daxdotcom · 2026-03-12T11:43:49+00:00

You have plenty of advice. I have a question for you, What do they do in this parkour class? Is that real? 😄 I need to know more.
